Master a series of performance-enhancing coding techniques and
methods that help them improve the performance of their Unity3D
applications About This Book * Discover features and techniques to
optimize Unity Engine's CPU cycles, memory usage, and the GPU
throughput of any application * Explore multiple techniques to
solve performance issues with your VR projects * Learn the best
practices for project organization to save time through an improved
workflow Who This Book Is For This book is intended for
intermediate and advanced Unity developers who have experience with
most of Unity's feature-set, and who want to maximize the
performance of their game. Familiarity with the C# language will be
needed. What You Will Learn * Use the Unity Profiler to find
bottlenecks anywhere in your application, and discover how to
resolve them * Implement best practices for C# scripting to avoid
common pitfalls * Develop a solid understanding of the rendering
pipeline, and maximize its performance by reducing draw calls and
avoiding fill rate bottlenecks * Enhance shaders in a way that is
accessible to most developers, optimizing them through subtle yet
effective performance tweaks * Keep your scenes as dynamic as
possible by making the most of the Physics engine * Organize,
filter, and compress your art assets to maximize performance while
maintaining high quality * Discover different kinds of performance
problems that are critical for VR projects and how to tackle them *
Use the Mono Framework and C# to implement low-level enhancements
that maximize memory usage and avoid garbage collection * Get to
know the best practices for project organization to save time
through an improved workflow In Detail Unity is an awesome game
development engine. Through its massive feature-set and
ease-of-use, Unity helps put some of the best processing and
rendering technology in the hands of hobbyists and professionals
alike. This book shows you how to make your games fly with the
recent version of Unity 2017, and demonstrates that high
performance does not need to be limited to games with the biggest
teams and budgets. Since nothing turns gamers away from a game
faster than a poor user-experience, the book starts by explaining
how to use the Unity Profiler to detect problems. You will learn
how to use stopwatches, timers and logging methods to diagnose the
problem. You will then explore techniques to improve performance
through better programming practices. Moving on, you will then
learn about Unity's built-in batching processes; when they can be
used to improve performance, and their limitations. Next, you will
import your art assets using minimal space, CPU and memory at
runtime, and discover some underused features and approaches for
managing asset data. You will also improve graphics, particle
system and shader performance with a series of tips and tricks to
make the most of GPU parallel processing. You will then delve into
the fundamental layers of the Unity3D engine to discuss some issues
that may be difficult to understand without a strong knowledge of
its inner-workings. The book also introduces you to the critical
performance problems for VR projects and how to tackle them. By the
end of the book, you will have learned to improve the development
workflow by properly organizing assets and ways to instantiate
assets as quickly and waste-free as possible via object pooling.
Style and approach This practical book will help readers understand
the essentials of the Unity3D engine and how to build games while
improving the performance of their applications.
